Spex H-harness

The Spex H-Harness is a minimalist anterior harness designed to provide superior trunk support, adjustability, and comfort for wheelchair users. With a curved pad construction and soft neoprene padding, it follows the natural contours of the body, offering both stability and freedom of movement.

Comfortable & Functional Design

The H-Harness is built to enhance user comfort while ensuring effective anterior positioning.

Key Comfort Features:

• Curved pad design – follows natural body contours.
• Soft neoprene padding – provides cushioning and resilience.
• Stretch fabric – allows controlled movement while maintaining support.
• Low-positioned cross strap – increases safety and stability.

Clinical Benefits of Anterior Harness Support

Anterior trunk supports are commonly prescribed to assist with posture, alignment, and function. The Spex H-Harness is particularly useful for individuals who pull or fall forward in their chair.

Clinical Advantages:

• Helps maintain spinal alignment over a stable pelvis.
• Improves upper extremity function through increased trunk stability.
• Supports upright trunk and head positioning for improved breathing, feeding, and vision.

Tips for Effective Positioning

• Attach lower straps to the backrest shell (not the frame) for a more secure fit.
• Use shoulder strap guides to keep the harness in place.
• Ensure correct tension for balance between stability and freedom of movement.
